It’s Furry Friends Friday, sponsored by The Mason Jar Cafe, with Eva from Paws Of Hope! Eva is an elegant little Brown Tabby Cat, believed to be almost one year old. Sassy and tough best describes our Eva who, as a kitten, was living on the streets with a compound fracture to her right front leg. Eva’s bravery and intelligence kept her alive. Eva’s broken leg was causing her to be in pain, so it has been amputated and she is maneuvering well. She is learning that people offer comfort. However, being around other cats makes her feel anxious, so her perfect home will not have cats, dogs, or young children. Give Eva your love and patience, and you won’t be disappointed! Eva is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and tested negative for FeLV-FIV. Please contact Paws of Hope at [email protected], or send a private message to our Facebook page, to learn more about our beautiful and brave warrior princess, Eva.
